Forum suggestion - new topics list
Irony - 29/7/10 at 01:37 PM

I am sure this may have been posted before but I did a quick search and it didn't find anything. Apologies if its already been suggested.

On the forum home page there is the list of new topics. It seems to me that if I pose a new question etc it only gets replies when its still on the first page. As soon as it goes off there its never looked at again. I know about the 'todays posts page' but I think most uses don't look at that. I find myself posting about 6 o'clock just to try and catch more people for my build questions.

I understand that the home page is compact to increase loading time but I feel the 'new topics' home page could be three times as long and people could quickly scroll down to see if they are likely to want to reply.

Sorry if this has been suggested before.

as amazingly helpful as this forum is, what about a quick link to "my posts" ?

It's already there, in three ways.

If you're looking at one of your posts click the 'find' button underneath it.

Next way is to view your profile i.e.
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/member.php?action=viewpro&member=mrwibble
Then click the 'Search for all posts by this user' in Other options.

But the quickest is to favourite
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/misc.php?action=search&srchuname=mrwibble&searchsubmit=a&srchfid=all&srchfrom=0
which will do the search for you.

I had this idea to remove for sale etc from home page and put a link on side to say there are x things for sale today.
